Much-loved Block foreman Dan Reilly and his wife Dani have shared they are expecting their second child, after the heartbreak of losing their newborn daughter Billie last year.
The couple took to social media to reveal the beautiful news, saying, “As sure as the sun rises and sets each day, she is with us for this next chapter… Billie’s sibling coming 2026. To those navigating pregnancy and infant loss, IVF, and fertility challenges – we see you.”

The couple welcomed their first child in December last year, but Billie died at just 10 days old.
At the time Dan and Dani, who appeared on the 2012 season of The Block, shared their heartbreak.
“It is with insurmountable grief that we share the news that our daughter Billie, has passed on from this life and into the next at just 10 days young,” the couple captioned a tender family photo.
“In Billie’s short time in this world, she taught us an intensity of both love and pain we never knew possible. She taught us what really matters. Billie was so wanted, so loved and she made us parents… and what an honour it is to be her mummy and daddy. She will always be our daughter.
“It’s clear to us that Billie was far too good for this world but if we know anything for sure, it’s that Billie’s legacy will make an impact greater than all of us.
“We understand there will be questions, and so many of the answers we just don’t have yet. We’ll share more in time but for now we ask for privacy as we work through this together and with our loved ones.”
Dan and Dani set up a fundraiser to support The Royal Women’s Hospital in honour of beautiful Billie.
The couple revealed in July 2024 that they were expecting their first baby in late 2024, and Dan also announced the news to contestants on last year’s Block.
